A striking incident in the career of
Capoleon is described by Camille Co

if Elba"). It describes how he met the
!rst opposition offered to his march to

"Meanwhile Napoleon had traveled

ato the Interior of the country. Har
ag received Information on Sunday.
be 4th of March. the prefect of
'Isere had immediately. In concert
sith the military authority, taken
neasures to deal with the startling s!t
mtion. A detachment composed of a
>attallon of the Fifth regiment of the
Ine and two cor'npanies of engineers
ras dispatched to prevent the further
Ldvance of the emperor.
"The meeting between this detach
neat and the little troop from the Isle
4f Elba took place on the 7th of
darch near Vizille, but not before the
ensants had had time to hasten to in
'orm Napoleon of the antagonistic dis

xrenoble. In order to avold the shed
Ling of blood the emperor ordered
ambronne. who was accompanied by
t small escort, to enter Into treaty
ith the cocardes blanches (white
mvekades). Cambronne found the de
achment ranged In order of battle.
lChe commanding officer refused to en
:er Into communication. and the sol
Liers remained silent and gloomy.
"Napoleon immediately took his
share In the proceedings He gave the
>rder to his grenadiers to put their
-ifes under their arms, In order to
;ve proof of their pacific disposItions.
Mben he advanced alone. while some
if his friends cried to the soldiers of

"' s do not fire! There is the

hirty meters frorm the Grenoble de

arms crossed on his breast, remained
andlc In the middle of the road.
"Soldiers of the Fifth,' he said in a
oud tone-'soldiers of the Fifth, do
ron recognize me?
"'Yes. yes!' they all replied.
"Then Napoleon. throwing open his
ray cloak with a dramatic gesture
md pointing to his breast with his
ands, replied:
"If there Is one among you who
wishes to kill his general, his emperor.
ie can do It. Here I am!'
"The response was unanimous, sub
lme: 'Long live- the emperor! In
lye the emperor!'
"Breaking the ranks, their shakos at
he ends of the swords or on the bayo
aets, the soldiers of the Fifth, to whom
were joined the engineers, ran toward
Sapoleon, surrounded him. embraced
hm, kissed his hands, culled him their

mme consolidated. Napoleon then had
2.000 men with whom to march on to

"They took the road, and It was a
riumphal march. The people or the
listrict came to meet the colun, ac

THE DEAREST GIFT.
A Pathetic Incident In the Life of Rob- of

A young American woman was trav- uS

compartment being an elderly gentle- p
man. Observing the interest of the y(
young woman in the country through w
which they were passing :nd seeing at
also that It was new to her. the more of
experienced traveler pointed out ob- b
3ects and places of note. w
From scenery the conversation drift- a
ed to books and authors, until some- sr
thing suggested to the young Amern- ih
i can one of Elizabeth Barrett Brown- m
ings sonnets, which she quoted. tr
She was astonished and abashed be- tt
cause the grtlenan made no reply. s
but during the rest of the ride sat look- d,
ing Intently out of the window. har- cc
hxg apparently forgotten the very ex- st
Istence of his traveling companion. Ix
As they neared the station where the a:
young lady was to leave the car she p,
said timidly: H
"I fear, sir, that I have offended you.
Perhaps you do not like Mrs. Brown

A CURIOUS ANIMAL
The Sea Cucumber Can Part with and
Replace Its Organs' h
Among the curious animals which In- b
habit the sea we may take the holo- :
thuria, or sea cucumber, so called from t!
Its resemblance to the cucumber.
When this animal Is attacked by an it
enemy it does not stand up and fight. j
but by a sudden movement it ejects its
teeth, stomach, digestive apparatus- d
and nearly all Its intestines and then
shrivels its body up to almost nothing. a
When, however, the danger is past _
the animal commences to replace the
organs which It has voluntarily parted
with, and in a short time the animal
Is as perfect as ever it was.
Dr. Johnstone kept one in water for P
a long time, and one day he forgot to a
change the water. The creature in 1
consequence ejected Its intestines and If
shriveled up, but when the water was f
changed all its organs were repro- n
duced. Although the animal is not
eaten in Europe, It is a favorite with n
the Chinese, and the fishing forms an u
Important part of the industry of the t4
east. Thousands of junks are annual
ly used in fishing for trepang. as the
animals are called.-London Tit-Bits. tg

Cows That Never Drink.
"The "wild cow" of Arabia, in reality t1
an antelope, the Beatrix oryx, is said t
never to drink. which is probably cor
rect, for unless these animals can de
scend the wells they can find no drink
lug water for ten months in the year.
There is no surface water and rain
falls but precarlor'sly during the win

ever, are provided by nature with a t
curious food supply, especially design- 13

STAGE REALISM. sI
Why Jefferson Didn't Have a Dog
Schneider in the Flesh- z
It was the privilege of the writers
years ago to attend a reception atc
which Joseph Jefferson spoke on the t
drama. His treatment of the subject E
was Interesting, the utterance ofa
man who k-new the art of which he
spoke. But the most interesting parte
of the hour came after the completion ai
of the formal address, when an oppor
tunity was given to the audience to
ask any questious they wished of Mr.'
Jefferson. Soon the familiar topic was a
introduced. the effect of the modern
elaboration and realism in stage set- V
ting. Mr. Jefferson at once rose to the'
question. He spoke somewhat rapldly.
with a quaint humor and sympathetica
charm that were irresistible. He char
acterized the modern fashion of stage t
setting as "a tribute to the weakness
of the human imagination." "I am of
ten asked." he went on. "why I do not
have a real dog Schneider. But if I did I)
none of you would be satisfied. Yott
sould go home saying. 'Well. Schel
der never looked like that dog!' You1
love Schneider because you have made
him out of a piece of your own heart.
And then." medItatIvely. "if I had a
real Schneider some one in the gallery t
would probably whistle to him at the
critical moment. and he would bark I
and spoil the play, while if be knew 1
his part perfectly and did just what!
Schneider ought to do"-pausing and
with his delightful smile--Schneider
would be the hero and not Rlip!" Then.1
with a twinkle of the eye, he summeds
up the whole matter with the quiet re- t
mark, "Realism with a tail to wag in
the wrong place Is a dangerous thing."!

Escorted Her Anyway.
While Robert Browning and his son
Barrett were living alone In Florence
the son gave one afternoon an exhibi

drawing room. To 3r. Drowrlng was
assigned the task of meeting the
guests. Late in the afternoon. when
the room was well filled. there appeared:
at the drawing room door a woman:
whose face was familiar. Yet Mr.
Browning could not recall her name.
and he judged from her appearance
that she was not an invited guest.
There was embarrassment on both
sides for a moment. and then the wo
man said eagerly: -Oh. please. Mr.
Browning. I'm the cook. Mr. Barrett
said as I was to come and see his pret
ty pictur's."
Whereupon Mr. Browning. offering
his arm. showed her about the room
with all the attention that he could
have bestowed upon a reigning queen.
The Rat and the Bulbs.
According to the French naturalist
De Parrille. a gardener planted one
afternoon 250 tulip bulbs on a terrace.
and next morning he noticed that the
ground had been disturbed and that
the bulbs had all been taken away.
He was confident that rats had done
I the work, and, taking a spade. he be
I gan to dig in the hope of discovering
their nest. Soon he unearthed a large
female rat, which he killed. and after
digging a few more minutes he dis
covered an underground chamber lined
with bay and leaves and connected by
a corridor with two holes, which were
evidently used as storehouses, for in
them he found the 20 tulip bulbs.
This wan remarkable, but more re
markable was the fact that they were
neatly arranged in two rows and that
not one of them had been gnawed or
otherwIse injured.
The Rhodum Sidus.
An amusing story told by Hood de
scribes how a country nurseryman
made a large sum out of sales of a
simple little dower which he sold un
der the name of the Rhodum sidus.
This charming name proved quite an
attraction to the ladies. and the flower
became the rage of the season. It was
one of those freaks of fashion for
which there Is no accounting. At
length a botanist who found that the
plant was not an uncommon weed re
quested to know where the nursery
man got the name from. Hie elicited
the following reply: "I found this Oow
er In the road beside us, so christened
it the Rhodum sldus."
The Purist Lost a Sale.
.I're just happened to remember
that my wife told me to get a tin pan
that will go under the Icebox. Have
you any?'
"No. sir, but we have some that can
be shoved under the icebox. Won't
that do just as weli?"
"I think not. young man. My wife
is a bit particular about my getting
the exact thing that she tells me to
get. I presume I can find it at some
other store. Good day. sir."-Chicago
Tribune.
Horse Sense.
During a heavy downpour of rain an
Irish farmer sent his boy to a distant
Ifield to bring home a horse. Some time
elapsed. and the messenger returned
without the horse.
Father-Didn't 01 send ye for the
horse, ye gamoch? Is your bead in
your brogues?
